TAG Cover Letter

The TAG Criteria document provides full details of 2009-10 UC Davis TAG criteria. Use bookmarks within the TAG Criteria document or use the outline below to link directly to the section(s) you most need to reference. Note: the pdf links below may not work with some browser configurations.

TAG Contract Form

Please use the new University of California TAG form, udpated in July 2008, to submit your UC Davis TAG. The previous form will be accepted from those campuses that have already initiated the TAG process. The form is self-explanatory, but please read below for a few advisory notes.

Campus and Major

A TAG contract form should be submitted to each UC campus with which you desire a TAG. UC Davis will not forward the TAG contract to another campus and our representative’s signature on the UC TAG form will validate a contract only for UC Davis.

Please list the correct UC Davis major title in the space provided. Our majors list is provided within this index for your convenience.

Personal Information

Consistent use of name is critical. A student should use the name that appears on his/her community college record. This is the name that will be used on the TAG contract and on the UC undergraduate application.

Name, address, and birthdate must be accurate. This information is used to match the student's application data with the TAG contract during our admission selection process.

Majors List
